Lei Garden, L'Atelier TiramiSu, Tang Music Box & Hon Guo

It's almost a full-day event for 5 of us! Met up with the girls (Angela, Cassandra, Ivy & Mel) from Voodoos group for a dim sum brunch at Lei Garden

It was raining heavily (like finally) when I reached.

Mel made a reservation for the second seating from 12.30 pm - 2 pm & we were ushered to our table at lower dining area the moment we stepped into the restaurant.

Ate lots of stuffs & were rather full

The girls are so engrossed in discussing the Korean Drama - 来自星星的你 .. me? Zzzzz.. lol

After dim sim, we went KTV. While th girls make their way to KTV, I detour to L'Atelier TiramiSu to buy cake for Angela, whose birthday is just 2 days ago.

This is our new-found KTV! My colleague went on previous Sunday & told me about this place!

堂聚 Tang Music Box

eh, wait... am I at the correct place? Is this KTV or grocery store?

Yes! I'm at the correct place. It's the "meeting place" in the KTV! You're supposed to pick up our own tidbits & drinks here before proceeding to the room. The room we booked is for 4-6 pax (S), with cover charge of $5/pax, and so we're required to spend min $90 at this meeting place. Quite cool the concept~

ooh~ my favorite number!

Room comes with super big flat screen & a touch screen system on the wall

Snapped a picture of them while Angela goes toilet

Then I brought out the cake. I bought 5 slices - 2 Classico, 1 each of Matcha, Lyhcee & Dark Cherry. Classico proves to be the best of all.

Us :)

Drinks & Chips!

Cheers!

Average spending per pax is $37, inclusive of cover & other misc charges. It's about the came price as KBox/ Party World, but with better & nicer options of drinks & chips.

We decided to do a light dinner after the KTV session before we call it a day. Went to Chinatown point & finally decide on HonGuo 红锅.All of us ordered the Hotpot set (fish/ beef/ pork ribs) which comes with preserved vegetables, beancurd skin & rice. The girls find the soup a little spicy, but I find it acceptable. I had the beef & it's quite tender.

Had an enjoyable day with the girls & will be planning for other activities soon.

Midas's Birthday @ Lei Garden

Hello, April~ It's time to celebrate our "Birthday Organizer's Birthday"! This time round, Theresa is in-charge of organizing =)

Due to over-dose of Western & Japanese food, Sam choose to have Chinese food @ Lei Garden, Chijmes for her birthday. Food here was pretty good, but service was not as fantastic as expected. Servers were not attentive and a lot of times, you need to remind them twice when you ask for things, etc. iced water.. We even have to self-serve to the side plates when we cut the cake.

Me, set to attend the birthday lunch =)

Davion decided to become a "mouse"

Venue of today's lunch

Lei Garden @ Chijmes

A live Crab on display!

We were showed to a table at 2nd level.

The table setting

The menu. Wordings on the menu are pretty small, so it's not easy for people with 老花眼 (like me)!

The appetizer, 菜心 with XO Sauce is quite nice. I shall attempt to do it at home one fine day.

Snapped away with Fiona & Theresa while waiting for the rest to arrive.

Candice, expecting her 2nd baby will be due in end-Jul

Candid shot: Sam & Angeline, busy ordering

We mainly ordered Dim Sum as Fiona say's it's quite good.

Chicken Feet ($4.80); Egg Tarts ($4.30); Vegetarian Goose ($6)- Thumbs up for this! ; Shrimp Dumpling ($5.20).

流沙包 ($4.30). One of the better one I've had, but I prefer those with plain buns.

Rice roll (Chee Cheong Fan) with Shrimp ($5.20); Braise Tao Gua ($6) - A little bland & the peanut is quite hard; Carrot Cake ($4.80)- Thumbs up! Especially with the lap-cheong inside!; Shanghai Dumpling ($5.20)

Braise Chicken Feet ($7.80); Mid-wing w/broccoli - Super Salty ($8); Beancurd w/shrimp ($4.80) - A little oily but the shrimp is fat; Fish Porridge ($10.80)

We also order 1 whole Peking Duck ($62). It'll be good if you order this is advance cos limited servings available.

Skin of the Peking Duck is very crispy, but a little oily. Thus causing the crepe to be a little oil too

Shredded duck meat w/noodle ($25)

The kiddos self-entertained themselves with their toys & Miss TT sticking out the tongue when asked to take picture

A proper shot of Sam & Angeline =)

Theresa bought a stalk of Rose for Sam with the balance$ from the cake. BTW, it's Miss TT who choose this stalk of Rose!

Birthday Cake, requested by Sam. She requested for the same cake last year too, so Theresa requested for the wording to be written in blue as last year's wording is in pink.
